The goal of this study was to instrumentally evaluate the skin healthy infants and compare it adult skin. A total 70 infants, 45 girls 25 boys, ages 8-24 months, 30 women were studied by means transepidermal water loss (TEWL), capacitance, pH measurements at two different sites, volar forearm buttocks. No significant differences in TEWL found between adults, either on buttocks or forearm. On contrary, capacitance values higher infants. Their also appeared less acid than that with high...
Despite significant advancements in the automatic classification of skin lesions using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, skepticism among physicians persists. This reluctance is primarily due to lack transparency and explainability inherent these models, which hinders their widespread acceptance clinical settings. The primary objective this study develop a highly accurate AI-based algorithm for lesion that also provides visual explanations foster trust confidence novel diagnostic...
Unusual skin infection localization represents a challenge to physicians regarding presentation and mode of acquisition, all which might influence the diagnosis. At same time, administration incorrect drugs due misdiagnosis have negative impact on disease course. This article presents two case reports detailing unusual larva migrans scabies mites in Italian patients, highlighting importance clinical vigilance comprehensive evaluation patients. These cases suggest how an accurate diagnosis...
Background Recently, we identified and described dermoscopic aspects, present with a higher frequency in congenital melanocytic lesions respect to acquired naevi. We also classified small- medium-sized naevi (CN) into nine subtypes according their macroscopic aspects. Objectives Because the recognition of features may be instrument dependent, this study, wanted check whether patterns specific for CN can digital images by means different instruments. validity our previously proposed...
Patients with mild-to-moderate acne are frequently colonized by Staphylococcus aureus on their skin, which alters microenvironmental skin conditions and exacerbates disease symptoms. Bacteriocins produced Bacillus subtilis may act as antimicrobial peptides against Gram-positive bacteria.To investigate whether topical application of bacteriocins from B. could serve a potential strategy for promoting S. decolonization acneic skin.The research product was cream formulation containing 1%...
The aim of this study was to evaluate disperse dye sensitization in patients with hand dermatitis. From January 1996 December 2000, we identified 130 dermatitis reacting one the 7 dyes included our standard series. In 82 subjects localized hands alone, whereas 48 had lesions both on and other skin sites. Disperse Blue dyes, Orange 3 were most common sensitizers. Among 13 allergic found cases occupational contact dermatitis, 1 child atopic worsening after use synthetic fibre garments, 4...
BACKGROUND Because melanoma may sometimes be difficult to differentiate from nevi with clinical atypia, many benign lesions also undergo surgical removal. OBJECTIVE To assess color type and distribution in dermoscopic melanocytic lesion images analyze the influence of parameters on diagnostic process decision excise. METHODS Overall, 603 images, referring 112 melanomas 491 nevi, were retrospectively subdivided into four groups: “clearly benign,” “follow-up,” “dermoscopic atypical nevi,”...
Although long-term management of psoriasis is paramount, this approach challenging in clinical practice. In the recent PSO-LONG trial, a fixed-dose combination betamethasone dipropionate (BD) and calcipotriol (Cal) foam applied twice week on non-consecutive days for 52 weeks (proactive treatment) reduced risk relapse. However, role Cal/BD needs further clarifications. The ProActive Management (PAM) program, nationwide Italian project, aims at reaching consensus proactive psoriasis.A steering...
Owing to a lack of well-defined clinical criteria for identifying congenital lesions, the diagnosis small and medium-sized melanocytic naevi is always uncertain. Our aim was describe features naevi, as observed by digital videomicroscopy, with purpose single patterns characteristic or different morphological subgroups. We could then perform classification based on their macroscopic surface microscopic aspects. Digital images referring 154 150 acquired were examined pattern analysis. New...
The effectiveness of intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser devices is widely accepted in aesthetic dermatology for unwanted hair removal treatment a variety cutaneous conditions. Overall, most comparative trials have demonstrated similar IPL devices. Literature studies alternatively favor the concepts, but incidence severe local pain side effects were generally lower with IPL. phototherapy, already established as sound option photoepilation photoaging, hyperpigmentation other skin conditions,...
A case of a severe necrotizing vasculopathic skin lesions occurred in 43 year old women affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) submitted to IFNb-lb has been described. fter two months therapy the patient presented, injection sites abdomen, arms and legs, numerous ulcers. biopsy was performed evidenced confluent necro sis superficial deep tissue with mild infiltration inflammatory cells thrombosis blood vessels. The immediately discontinued corticosteroids started. 12 from onset adverse...
Dermoscopy is widely used for the diagnosis of skin cancers and it increases accuracy basal cell carcinoma (BCC) detection. The dermoscopic criteria BCC have recently been updated they can be divided into three categories: vascular, pigment-related, nonvascular/nonpigmentrelated. objective our multicentre retrospective study was to report validity a new pigment-related feature utilized detect pigmented (pBCC) (i.e., brown homogeneous blotches (BHB)). Cases pBCC were collected from databases...

Nail dermoscopy (onychoscopy) during physical examination assists in correct diagnosis. Often further magnifications are necessary for an effective differential With the addition of a red light to dermoscope, important vascular features can be visualized.To describe common observed at onychoscopy with new device that combines regular white illumination, demonstrating it is useful diagnosis nail disorders.We enrolled 33 consecutive patients referred Diseases Dermatology Unit University Modena...
The intense pulsed light (IPL) and laser technologies are widely used for skin rejuvenation treating several dermatological disorders such as dyschromia acne, non-ablative dermal remodeling of rhytides hypertrophic scars. Technological evolution is rapid. High Power Pulsed Light™ [HPPL™] Incoherent Fast [IFL™, Novavision Group S.p.A., 20826 Misinto (MB), Italy] recent innovations in the field IPL technologies; IFL™ a further already advanced HPPL™ system. paper presents selection case...
The High Power Pulsed Light™ [HPPL™] and Incoherent Fast technologies [IFL™, Novavision Group S.p.A., 20826 Misinto (MB), Italy] are recent innovations in the field of unwanted hair removal with intense pulsed light devices. IFL™ is a further improvement over already advanced characteristics HPPL™ technology. A selection photoepilation case histories presented; short introduction highlights main features two technologies. All study materials were appropriately peer-reviewed for ethical problems.
Background Confocal Scanning Laser Microscopy (CSLM) is a novel technique enabling the in-vivo visualisation of skin at quasi histologic resolution. In CSLM, contrast provided by differences in refraction index organelles and other microstructures, that appear bright, with respect to background. Since pigment melanin strong source employment this for identification melanocytic lesions appears particular interest. Aim study Our purpose was identify structures descriptors useful...
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a very common inflammatory skin disease. It occurs in 1-3% of the population. The most supported pathogenetic theory links SD to dandruff via etiology, yeasts genus Malassezia. Ketoconazole and ciclopirox (CPX) shampoo are considered as first line treatment scalp. CPX broad-spectrum, hydroxypyridone-derived, synthetic antifungal agent with anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant properties. aim this study was assess efficacy tolerability 1% scalp.A total...
